Augumenta and Jorjin Technologies gesture towards future

Hand gesture control is a natural, easy-to-learn way to control camera-equipped smartglasses used for content viewing and augmented reality applications. Pictured is Jorjin’s J-100 Smart Glasses (EVK version).

The strategic partnership seeks to integrate Augumenta gesture control solutions on smartglasses manufactured by Jorjin that run on Android.

Improving the user-friendliness of the smartglasses is a chief goal of the companies, and to accelerate adoption in both consumer and industry segments. The partnership will cover all future Jorjin smartglasses equipped with RGB and/or 3D cameras.

“Thanks to Jorjin’s extensive system-level knowhow, we were able to co-design an architecture that brings unparalleled performance without sacrificing battery life,” saysTero Aaltonen, co-founder and CEO of Augumenta. “The ultimate beneficiaries are end-users, who get a solution that’s intuitive to use in navigating and controlling both entertainment and productivity applications.”
